Indonesia blocks video sharing sites
Updated
Indonesia has blocked access to video sharing sites YouTube, MySpace and other websites showing an anti-Islamic film.
Indonesia's main Internet providers say they acted on a government request to block websites showing the film, Fitnah.
The move came after the communications minister wrote to YouTube, asking it to remove the 17-minute film by right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
The minister wrote to Internet providers last week asking them to block access to sites that carried the film on the grounds that it could disturb religious and civil harmony at a global level.
Muslim groups have held several protests outside the Dutch embassy in the capital Jakarta.
